Her: I looked and I can check two bags on this airline.
Him: You need two bags for four days?
Her: Well, one with my clothes, shoes, cosmetics, knitting, book and all that....
Him: And?
Her: One for my electric water boiler, oatmeal, green tea for the morning, white tea for the afternoon, black tea to wake up by, tea to make good iced tea with, a real mug to drink tea from, a cold drink cup to carry the iced tea around with, a bowl, spoon, tea infuser.....
Him: Enough! (and while this conversation took place over the phone, she could sense his head shaking over the airways as though he was standing right there.)
Thirty-one. All packed and headed off to that magical place. I plan on knitting and listening to books and watching my kid march down Main Street. This is the last school trip we'll be taking. I'm pretty sure how I feel about that, and it is good!
And these days, depending on the airline, you get to pay a fee for each bag as well! Not to mention pay for a box lunch on the plane (if you are lucky).... times have changed since we used to complain about airline food!

I was sure you were going to say "knitting".
I fly as little as possible these days. The aggravation on each end of a trip ends up not being worth it.

I thought I was the only one packing her own breakfast and beverages when traveling! I'm dreading the next time we have to fly...we actually drive to Baltimore so we can take Southwest. At least they're funny!

I see absolutely nothing strange about your packing list.
Mmmm. Tea.

Men? What do they know anyway? Totally get the need for a proper cup.

Mwahahaha, and I just returned from a 10-day trip that included a 3-day cruise and two coasts, four cities, two countries, about three weather zones, and variable weather, all in a carry-on and a tiny backpack. I promise I won't tell your husband.

We're going in May, but since my kid's only 3, I bet this isn't remotely close to the last time.
Have a fun, safe, Mickey-filled trip!

Bon voyage. Have a wonderful time. OK - I'll admit I'm surprised. I expected the second bag to be filled with all sorts of knitting. The tea sounds interesting though.
